Anthony Huxley's Illustrated History of Gardening is a delightful and essential book for all who garden today. Here is the first authoritative book about the history and the development of the methods of gardening. In these pages all gardeners will find their own heritage - a heritage that stretches back several thousand years. The development of garden beds, containers, lawns, hedges and fences, of the ways of sowing, planting, controlling pests, watering and feeding, of training, pruning, forcing and protecting is all colorfully described. Over one thousand illustrations take today's gardener on a visual tour of the history of this favorite pastime.

As aptly categorized in the foreword: "This is gardening at ground level, history with (you might say) dirty fingernails." The late son of the Huxley dynasty of scientists chronicles the derived-from-agriculture gardening techniques and implements invented and used across cultures and the centuries (everything but power mowers it seems). Huxley also considers more recent trends: greater numbers of leisure gardeners optimizing smaller lots, growing from seed, and organic gardening. Includes numerous b&amp;w illustrations. Originally published by Paddington Press. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
